The comic ended here.
Although Mona had joined midway, it did not affect her being deeply moved at all. No wonder so many people lined up to buy it. It was simply too good.
Inside the room.
Su Han opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.
For some unknown reason, converting internal energy today was extremely difficult. The final small portion was like a stain, very hard to eliminate.
Of course, it could also be a bottleneck, but Su Han did not force it.
After all, with the system around, perhaps the next treasure draw could solve this problem. So recently, he did not plan to continue converting internal energy.
Taking advantage of the lack of interruptions, Su Han opened the system.
Recently, Fox Spirit Matchmaker had released a new chapter. Sales had surged again, and it was now possible to draw rewards.
"Let me see what I can draw this time."
Soon, a virtual panel filled with futuristic technology appeared before him.
[Comic]: Fox Spirit Matchmaker
[Permission]: Level 5 (Able to produce the content of Volumes 9–10)
[Restriction]: Sell 200,000 copies of the comic to unlock subsequent content
[Reward]: Selling 200,000 copies unlocks the fifth draw. After exceeding seven draws, one treasure draw can be obtained for free. One draw is currently available.
[Prize Pool]: Randomly obtain cultivation methods, potions, treasures, or even bloodlines from the Fox Spirit Matchmaker world. With comic permission below Level 5, super-grade treasures will not be obtained.
[Benefit]: If the host obtains a cultivation method, its level can be upgraded through points. One comic equals one point.
"The progress is quite good. System, start the draw."
The familiar prize pool began to rotate. Due to the increase in permissions, he could now draw all treasures within it.
A large number of skills and bloodlines flashed before Su Han's eyes.
[Wangquan Sword], [Mask], [Insulating Claw], [Endless Wine Gourd], [Heaven and Earth Manifestation], and so on.
Looking at the countless powerful abilities inside, Su Han became excited.
Putting everything else aside, if he drew Heaven and Earth Manifestation, he could immediately beat Tartaglia senseless.
After rotating for a while, the prize pool quickly stopped on a cluster of flames.
"Wait, could this be…"
Su Han stared at the icon in the system prize pool, his mouth gradually opening. He had expected to draw a powerful treasure, but he had not expected to hit the jackpot in one pull.
Soon, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special treasure from the Fox Spirit Matchmaker world, Flame of Longing.]
[Note: This treasure cannot be enhanced by the system, but it can nurture sub-flame seeds. Each costs 50,000 points.]
[Flame of Longing. Mutual longing allows this feeling to cross all barriers.]
[Remark: This is a flame that only those with extremely deep emotions can comprehend. As emotional strength deepens, its power grows stronger.]
"Flame of Longing!"
"I never expected to draw this."
In the original work, the Flame of Longing was a power Bai Yuechu comprehended at Dragon Bay. It was also through it that he connected with Susu and offset the influence of the Tear of the Void.
And this was only the ordinary usage of the Flame of Longing. Its true marvel lay in allowing two people to be linked heart to heart. The stronger the feelings, the more powerful this flame became.
"But what is a sub-flame seed? System, explain."
Su Han understood the Flame of Longing very well, but he did not quite understand the sub-flame seeds noted by the system.
The system quickly provided an answer.
"Replying to the host. This is a special power derived from your long-term operation of a crystal palace. You are the core of the Flame of Longing. If you wish to connect to your women, you can naturally only connect to one. To avoid this situation, the system has deduced a special function. By spending 50,000 points, you can nurture one sub-flame seed."
"So that's how it is. Amazing."
Su Han immediately gave the system a thumbs-up. He had just been wondering whether this could only connect to one person. Since it could be divided, there was no need to worry.
He pinched the flame and fused it into his body.
It was neither the scorching heat of Pure Yang Flame, nor the violence during the awakening of the Fire Qilin bloodline.
The Flame of Longing was more a power that resonated with emotion.
At first, it was only the size of a grain of corn. But as the connection with Su Han was completed, it began to expand rapidly, stopping only when it reached the size of a walnut.
"Only this much? That can't be right."
Su Han frowned slightly. He considered himself a man with deep emotions. Could it be that his longing was not enough?
Thinking of this, Su Han closed his eyes and recalled the scene when Jean had been gravely injured and on the verge of death.
The flame, which had stopped growing, seemed to receive nourishment and began to pulse again, eventually stopping at the size of an apple.
"It works? Then let's try Shenhe."
Su Han shifted his thoughts. This time, the Flame of Longing indeed grew further. He then switched to Ningguang, then Jean, until the flame finally stopped at the size of a basketball.
What about its power?
The Flame of Longing surpassed Pure Yang Flame in strength, but how could he know without testing it?
Su Han opened the Serenitea Pot and arrived before a coconut tree. With a slight flick of his finger, a flash of fire appeared, and the tree was instantly burned to ashes.
"So strong?"
Su Han was somewhat surprised. The power had increased by more than five times.
Worthy of a high-tier prize pool treasure.
After that, he conducted various experiments and ultimately reached several conclusions.
First, the Flame of Longing could not be extinguished by seawater or similar substances. Because it was born from emotional strength, it did not belong to a physical medium and naturally could not be countered by such things.
Second, its power was extremely strong, especially its penetration, capable of easily piercing even rock.
But the drawback was also obvious. Without a linked medium, it could only penetrate up to ten meters before it could no longer spread.
However, he believed that if someone possessed a sub-flame seed, that distance should extend infinitely.
Su Han withdrew the flame, feeling very satisfied.
He now wanted to find Shenhe and test what effect the Flame of Longing would have after being absorbed by her.
Back in the shop.
Shenhe was meditating in her room. Because she occasionally needed to go out to adapt to Liyue Harbor, she only cultivated for half a day each day.
Seeing Su Han arrive, she immediately stopped cultivating, a happy smile appearing on her face.
"You're here?"
"Yes. I got something interesting today and want you to try it."
Su Han spent 50,000 points to exchange for a flame seed. Then, amid Shenhe's curiosity, he pressed it into her body.
"Try using your thoughts to connect with it."
Shenhe did not doubt him and followed Su Han's instructions.
When she linked her thoughts to the flame, something magical happened. Shenhe could directly feel Su Han's emotions toward her.
They were so intense, so powerful, so warm.
That feeling was as if she could hear his heartbeat.
"This is…"
"The Flame of Longing. From now on, no matter where we are, as long as we long for each other, this feeling can cross all barriers. You can also use it to defend against enemies. As long as your love for me is strong enough, its power will increase accordingly."
"So that's it. No wonder it was very small at first, but now it's size have increased considerably."
"Wait, how big is the Flame of Longing inside you?"
Su Han felt as if he had misheard. He was considered a trinity, yet he could not compare to Shenhe alone?
Looking at her somewhat puzzled lover, Shenhe checked her dantian again and replied, "It seems to have grown a bit more."
